Lead magnets are a great way to grow your list and build your tribe. But, more often than not, businesses are getting their Lead Magnet wrong.

Why? Because they haven’t really thought out the three most vital components.

Lead Magnets address a 1)specific problem, with a 2)qualified solution to a 3)targeted segment of your market.

Value Isn’t VagueCreate and Deliver on One Big Promise

Create a vague offer to a wide, generalized audience supported by content that may or may not address a common or pressing problem, and you’ve just completed an exercise in futility. Worse yet, fail to deliver on your promised value and your potential customer may never trust you again.

Done correctly, lead magnets can be easy to create and will deliver the results you were banking on and more.

Only A Lead Magnet That’s Consumed Qualifies As Successful
